[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, BC, June 6, 2022 /CNW/ - June 6th, 2022 – Prospect Ridge Resources Corp. (the \"Company\" or \"Prospect Ridge\") (CSE: PRR) (OTC: PRRSF) (FRA: OED) is pleased to announce the appointment of Yan Ducharme as the new company President, Nicholas Luksha as the new Executive Vice President, and the start of the 2022 field operations with prospecting crews picking up where they left off at the end of the 2021 field season. Yan Ducharme brings over 25 years of experience to the company in greenfield and brownfield exploration projects. He started his career with SEMAFO in Guinea, Western Africa, on the Jean-Gobele exploration project which later became the Kiniero mine. In Quebec, he joined Cambior at the Sleeping Giant mine, then to the exploration office where he took care of exploration projects in the four corners of the Abitibi and in the James Bay area. Mr. Ducharme was also part of the exploration team at the Rosebel Mine in Suriname, South America for Cambior/Iamgold. Yan spent several years working NioGold's Marban project which reached 1.5M oz of measured and indicated resources (32Mt at 1.48 g/t Au) and 600k oz of inferred resources (16.5Mt at 1.13 g/t Au; NI 43-101 August 15, 2013). He was Vice-President of the company when it was bought by Oban mining, now operating as Osisko (TSE:OSK). He was regional exploration manager for Canadian Malartic until the Kirkland Lake project was acquired entirely by Agnico-Eagle (TSE:AEM), and then became exploration manager for SOQUEM. Most recently, Mr. Ducharme was exploration manager for Wesdome Gold Mine's (TSE:WDO) Kiena site. Mr. Ducharme obtained a Master's degree in Earth Sciences from the University of Quebec in Montreal. The Company is excited to be back in the field. The prospecting crews mobilized and started collecting more channel, chip, and grab rock samples across the Holy Grail and Knauss Creek properties. The crews started by targeting known zones with high grades of gold, silver, and other metals to help to prepare for drilling which is slated to start during the summer. The crews will then mobilize to other areas of the vast properties to sample and earmark future drill targets. With the assistance of a Lidar survey, the vast system of logging roads and helicopter, we will continue like last year with a very aggressive program to find more hig...
